I have been doing some resaerch on the standard irish translation of "fear no one" and have run into some difficulty. I have found two translations, one is "eagla aon duine" and the second one is "ealga gan aon duine a". I could use some help on which one would be appropriate for my tattoo, since a couple of the words in irish could be mean several things. THANKS
Google trashlate? The first one means "fear (this is a noun, by the way) any person" and the second means "fear (a noun once again) without any person" (not sure what that stray "a" is doing there).
To kick things off:
Ná bíodh eagla ort roimh aon duine: Don't be afraid of any person
I'm thinking you might also be able to get by with:
Ná bíodh eagla ort roimh éinne (but I'm not certain of this one)
Or, if you want it short and sweet:
Ná bíodh eagla ort: Don't be afraid
Gan eagla: No fear
Please wait for more learned input on these and/or alternate suggestions.
